David Hume, M.D., a pioneer in transplantation surgery, performed Virginia’s first kidney transplant at MCV in 1957. Since those early days, the program has been known for its rich, innovative history and continued advances in transplantation.
As one of the oldest transplant centers in the country, the Hume-Lee Transplant Center has hosted many of the state’s first-ever transplantation procedures, including:
The transplant center also opened one of the first tissue-typing labs in the world, as well as established Virginia’s first vascular access program. Its clinical liver cell transplant program has achieved national and international recognition.
Under the current leadership of Marlon F. Levy, M.D., F.A.C.S., professor and head, Division of Transplantation Surgery, the clinical transplant program at the Hume-Lee Transplant Center continues to be one of the leading transplant programs in the U.S., with survival rates that are among the best in the state and consistently meeting or exceeding the expectations of the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, the governing organization responsible for tracking and analyzing organ transplant data from across the U.S.
